Lakers vs Celtics

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics have a rivalry that dates back to the NBA Finals of 1959, thirteen years after both the Lakers and the Celtics were founded. The Lakers and the Celtics have faced each other in the NBA Finals twelve times. In the decade from 1959 to 1969 the teams met at the Finals seven times and in the 1980's another three. During the 1960's both teams dominated the NBA. The Celtics featured some of the best players in the world at that time; Bill Russell and Bob Cousy and for the Lakers they had Elgin Baylor and Jerry West.

During the 1970's the NBA in general and as a whole came to an economic screeching halt. The NBA was down in popularity, attendance was low and the image of the NBA at that time was that of "an all black league with a bunch of guys who did drugs". In the 1980's however, two things happened to the NBA; Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Bird played for the Celtics and Magic for the Lakers and both men would see each other at all three Finals against one another. The Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers rivalry, and especially the personal rivalry between Bird and Magic, served to boost the image of the NBA and to the success of each team.

During the 1980's the Celtics-Lakers rivalry began to be known as the East Coast versus West Coast of basketball, working class grit vs Hollywood glitz, old tradition versus air-conditioned luxury, and white versus black. Fans clung to these pseudonyms for the Lakers vs Celtics and the two teams took on a life of their own against one another. The NBA did not only revive in popularity, it soon became on of the most popular sports leagues in the world.

After Magic Johnson and Larry Bird each retired, the Celtics-Lakers competition calmed down a bit. In the 1990's the NBA became overshadowed by Michael Jordon of the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers made a come back again in 2000 and onward after striking gold on Shaquille O' Neal and Kobe Bryant. The Celtics made their comeback in the last half decade especially. Current mega-star Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, and Rajon Rondo on the Celtics have kept the mega streak of 2005, 2008, 2009 and now 2010 going of the Celtics earning Division titles.

The Lakers main stars now include Ron Artest, who last year famously argued with Kobe Bryand on court, as well as Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, and Derek Fisher. The Lakers were the 2009 NBA Champions. In 2008 they lost to the Celtics and in 2009 they beat the Orlando Magic. Now the Lakers are getting ready to face the Celtics again for what has been a very competitive decade between the two teams again.
